Lowering Springs - Questions ~

[jaspie]

I've been reading alot of posts about lowering springs and has me very interested ~ Though I don't have the money now......I will do soon ~ :biggrin:

Just have a few questions ~ What type of lowering springs should I use.....personally I like.....no wait......LOVE TRD equipment but in this case.....it's not like I can see it ~

I like have the car lower and since my Yaris has a Sports Body Kit.....would I have to be more careful to not scratch my baby ~

Also.....how much are they around.....I live in Australia so there would be a difference right?

Look up King Springs since you're in Australia. They're a fairly well-regarded local brand. If you want to go JDM, then you get the usual slew of TRD, Teins, and whatever, info which you might be able to find floating around the internet.

Sorry mr YRX, anyway Pedders offers a 30 -35mm drop + installation for $640 i believe.


Its a rip off, thats why im gonna buy Tanabe DF's (maxium drop) which is about 120USD from ebay + shipping..........and installation would be about 150 - 200 if you shop around

SHopping is always a good idea. I didnt buy a whole exhaust i baught a muffler and boy its foookin LOUD! and has a nice deep sound to it too....
(pics in my yarisworld garage is really outdated)

I have called over 10 places to install my muffler, and most of them said $170+.....but i called a local mech 5 mins away and he said $110 and i said YES

so its good to ring and shop around.......u never know how much money u will save....

King springs for Yaris NCP91R part numbers are KTFL-19 (front) and KTRL-55 (rear).

Don't know the cost, probably worth calling some Kingsprings retailers and getting a quote.

I'm not sure if you know how low the Camry Sportivo is but my room mate has one and I want to make it drop to about hers or a LITTLE lower ~ I know she's scratched the bottom alot of times going over bumps or others.....so I don't want to go too low ~

Just got a price from Wholesale Suspension in Penrith. Kingsprings are $295 for the set of 4. Not sure how low that is.

Thanks for that ~ That is quite low ~ Nice.....

Went around asking about King Springs today ~

$480 and $460 ~ Going for the second one and they said it will lower it 30mm ~ Which I am quite happy about ~ Though don't have the money yet to do it ~

I need to get tinting - $290 and then lower the car - $460......$750 :eek:

I'm only a 18 year old student ~ Though I get paid quite alot at my part time job so should be able to get those done by end of February ~

Thanks for the help guys ~ I will keep you updated on what's going on ~
